Study Notes

Web Browsers and E-Commerce

Primary purpose of web browsers is to access and display content on the World Wide Web.
Essential features supporting e-commerce include security, payment processing, product display, and customer interaction.

Web Servers

Web server software enables a computer to host websites and serve web pages to clients.
Specialized servers include application servers and database servers.

Google Chrome accounts for around 54% of the web browser market share.
Computing devices considered Web clients include personal computers, tablets, and smartphones.

Internet Growth and Protocols

The primary factor enabling uninterrupted growth of the Internet is its robust infrastructure and adaptability to change.
Not considered an Internet protocol are protocols unrelated to data transmission, such as proprietary protocols.

Computing Trends and Utility Programs

The fastest-growing form of computing is mobile computing.
Utility programs mentioned include disk management, antivirus software, and backup tools; however, games are typically not included in this category.

Technological Shifts

Disruptive technology affecting processors and operating systems is cloud computing.

Internet Model and Protocols

The layer of the hourglass model responsible for standardizing data format is the transport layer.
The Domain Name System (DNS) serves to translate human-readable domain names into IP addresses.

Packet Switching and URLs

Packet switching involves breaking down messages into packets, which are sent independently and can take different paths to the destination.
A uniform resource locator (URL) provides a specific address for resources on the World Wide Web, facilitating easy access.

Client-Server Computing and Addressing

The primary role of a server in client-server computing is to provide resources and services to client devices.
IPv6 addresses offer a larger address space compared to IPv4, solving potential address exhaustion issues.
A 'Class C address' in Internet addressing refers to a specific range of IP addresses designed for small networks, typically allowing up to 254 hosts.
